It is noteworthy to mention here that OSL had a decisive competitiveness against Seaways Shipping Limited Company with the latter bagging two big stevedoring contracts in last two years leading to crashing down of monopoly of Mahima Mishra and subsequently his OSL Company.

This competitiveness has been touted to be the main reason behind the enmity between Mahima and Mahendra Swain which culminated with the latter’s death in October 26 last year.

As many as 10 persons have been arrested in the alleged murder of Mahendra including OSL owner Mahima Mishra and are currently lodged in jail.
